TUFT-YARN CARRIER FOR FILE-FABRIC LOOMS.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Dec.14, 1909.

Application filed May 1, 1908. Serial No. 430,390.

these yarn carriers are used, the yarn carriers, which carry the yarnsfor forming the tufts, are connected with jacquard mechanism so that ateach jacquard action they are lifted by the said mechanism the varyingdistances required to bring the proper yarns in line with the grippersin accordance with the design or pattern to be pro- 'duced. Thesegrippers take hold of the proper yarns and after the yarns have beendrawn out and severed, the grippers carry the tufts down to the fell ofthe cloth. A loom working in'this way is described in the Britishspecification of John Bi'inton and Company Limited and another No. 15680of A. D1890.

My invention consists of the herein described improvements in themanufacture of the said yarn carriers whereby they are rendered verystrong and the cost of their pro duction is very considerably reduced.

My invention is illustrated by the accom panying drawings onwhichwFigure 1 is a side elevation partly in section of a yarn carrierconstructed in accordance with this invent-ion; Fig. 2 is a frontelevation of the same partly in section; Fig.

3 is a sectional plan of the same on line '00 w of Fig. 1; Fig. 4 is afront-elevation and Fig. 5 is a side elevation of one of the side.plates of the yarn carrier se arately. and Fig. 6 shows separately oneof tie cross bars of the yarn carrier.

In carrying out this invention the yarn carrier is formed of a pair ofthin metal (preferably steel) vertical side plates marked respectively 1and 2 arranged parallel with oneanother side byside at the properdistance apart with intermediate divisional horizontal cross bars 3arranged at.

the proper' equal distances apart to receive the yarns between them.These divisional cross bars 3 are secured to the side plates 1, 2, bybeing made as sheet metal blanks of the shape shown by Fig. (reachhaving at each side at least two lateral projections i forming rivetswhich pass through corresponding holes 5 in the side plates 1, 2, andare riveted over on theoutside as in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 therebyeffectually securing the divisional cross bars 3 to the side plates 1,2. The upper ends 6, 7, and the lower ends 8, 9, of the two side plates1, 2, are rabbeted slightly toward each other at 10 and are riveted tothe two thi 1 metal bars 11, 12, which are interposed between the endsof the side plates 1, 2, and form the upper and lower extensions of theyarn carrier which work in the yarn carrier guides of the loom.

The yarn check springs 13 may be of the usual kind and be carried by thedivisional cross bars 3 in the usual way. These check springs are shownon my drawings butthey form no part of my invention.

What 1 claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent isA yarn carrier of the type herein referred to formed essentially of apair of thin metal side plates with upper and lower extensions and aseries of divisional cross bars arranged at equal distances apartbetween said side plates and provided with lateral projections formingrivets which pass through holes in said side plates and are riveted overso as to secure the cross bars thereto, substantially as set ,forth.

In testiinony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
